PRELIMINARY PROGRAMMING NOTES:

1. Board will respond to read or write cycles at the address hex 63.

2. DATA bus functions.

				
	bit 0 - write only 	1 enables power supply, 0 disables.
	bit 1 - read only	1 power supply failure, 0 power ok.
	bit 2 - NC
	bit 3 - NC
	bit 4 - NC
	bit 5 - NC
	bit 6 - write only	1 turns on "CPU sees me" on board LED.
				0 turns off.
	bit 7 - NC

Writes to any other locations other than those implemented will have no effect.
Reads from any location except bit 1 will always return a 1.

I don't know yet the time delay between turning on the PS and having
the PS_STATUS bit 1 go low, estimate a few 10's of milliseconds.

PS_STATUS only needs to be checked very infrequently, just a diagnostic
tool to help when all of a sudden no more hydrophones (1-10 seconds?).
